== How can I mine Raven? Mining ==
=== How do I mine Ravencoin? ===
At a high level:
# Read the getting started article on : [https://virtopia.ca/how-to-mine-ravencoin-rvn/ virtopia.ca]
# Download the wallet from [https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin github], install and get a receiving address
# Select a pool from the [[Poolspools]] list# Download the GPU miner from [https://github.com/MSFTserver/ccminer/releases/tag/2.2.5-rvn github], unzipsoftware, and edit the batch file config to include the pool you want to mine on , and put enter your wallet address in the start up script....for payment and run the batch file.
=== Can I mine with my CPU / CPU or GPU mining which is better? ===
All the [[Pools]] are pretty good, and as with most things tech they all have issues from time to time. On average you'll get a larger share of fewer blocks with the smaller pools and a smaller share of more blocks with the larger pools. There are support channels for most of the pools on discord. The pools can be compared [https://rvnstats.info/dashboard/db/x16r-ravencoin-mining-pool-statistics-v0-1?refresh=1m&orgId=1 here].
=== Why is the difficulty going up / down? ===
The network tries to maintain 1 block being solved per minute over 2016 blocks before retargeting difficulty. If miners have found more than 1 block per minute during the previous 2016 blocks the network difficulty will go up to bring the average block time back to 1 per minute. If miners are solving blocks slower the opposite will happen.
